International Services

International accountancy and tax advice

Businesses and individuals increasingly operate across more than one country. Whether you’re establishing a business in the UK, expanding overseas, managing companies in different jurisdictions or dealing with personal tax matters across borders, obtaining the right advice at an early stage can help avoid unnecessary costs and unexpected tax consequences.

Monahans advises businesses and individuals on a wide range of international accountancy, tax and corporate finance matters. We work with UK businesses expanding into overseas markets, overseas companies establishing a UK presence, international groups with UK subsidiaries, and business owners managing operations across multiple countries. We also advise individuals on residency, domicile and cross-border tax matters.

  • Establishing a UK company or subsidiary
